David George Druce Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on October 3, 2025, at the age of 90, David George Druce of Portage, Wisconsin passed away. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As David departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though David may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy David leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, George Druce and Gladys Druce (Turner). He is survived by: his wife Margie Ratkowski (Maas); his stepsons, Mike Ratkowski (Jennifer Hillard) and Matt Ratkowski (Erica Hill); and his grandchildren, Dillon (Lexi), Levi and Elizabeth.
